Torn between tacos and tataki? Well now you can combine your love for South American cuisine with dishes from Japan.

A new pop-up at Jumeriah Al Naseem’s Summersalt restaurant is now open and promises to “fuse the artful craft of Japanese cooking with delicious flavours of South America”.

The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, with views across to Burj Al Arab Jumeirah.

Umi Shio is open for lunch and dinner, with a sharing menu split between appetisers, crudo, soups, tempura, seafood and meat, created using authentic Japanese and South American ingredients such as miso, yuzu, truffle and lime.

Dishes include roasted langoustines in a sweet and sour sauce and miso caramelized eggplant to start, followed by five types of crudo from classic seabass ceviche, truffle seafood ceviche, seabass sashimi, yellowtail sashimi and salmon tataki.
